I'm 44 and last weekend while at work, suffered a TIA (mini stroke). Lasted for about 12 minutes, during that time I was unable to speak or write. After alot of tests at the hospital, they discovered I had a PFO (hole in heart). Unsure if that is what caused the TIA, but I'm only on a baby aspirin per day and thank god I have no lasting side effects from the TIA. Plus the smoking is no more, it's only been a week and the difference is unreal. I'm looking forward to trapping places I had given up on because of the walking distance (LAZY...lol). Sure scared the crap outta me, guess God was giving me a little: Hey buddy, appreciate each day and don't procrastinate. Hampshire Trapper out......thanks.

Good job hamp. I enured a couple of months worth of TIA's a decade ago. I didn't stop smoking then. Less than 6 months later I had a massive heart attack. Don't ya love how doc's use bloated adjectives to describe a medical incident? Guess that's better than the clinical description. At any rate, with no cessation of smoking my condition worsened. The heart attack supposedly killed the bottom third of my heart. I was active hamp. Played inline hockey a couple of times a week. Smokin did me in. Along with genetics. Stubborness danm near killed me then. I waited another 3 months before going into an ER. Then it was a double bypass. Granted not smoking called for a bigger belt it was important. Thank God. Keep us tuned in.

51 years old soon to be 52 in July never smoked or dipped a day in my life. I had to throw that out there, couldn't pass it up. LOL ! Not tring to be a smart a-- I just never have figured out why anyone would smoke to begin with. When i met my wife 14 years ago she smoked when we first met. Other people smoking never really bothered me i guess because i could always get away from it, but could'nt my wife because she was always with me. My truck started smelling like cigerett smoke. I could not handle riding in her car with the windows rolled up. She knew that her smoking was going to be a problem between us early in our relationship and was curtious enough to not smoke in my house and tried to keep from smoking alot arround me and decided on her own to try and quit. She tried just cutting back to only smoking a few cigeretts a day but that was only driving her up the wall. So one day she was telling me that she was really tring hard to quit which i knew she was, so i told her i knew of an real easy way for her to quit. She asked how that was and i said it is real simple. I said give me that pack of cigeretts which she did. I then threw them out the window and looked at her and said see you just quit now don't buy anymore. LOL ! Which she didn't and has not smoked since.
